I've been meaning to make a presentation of this for a while, around Thanksgiving, but between other things and waiting for some bits and pieces here and there, it was long delayed. So here it, is, late as it may be. I suppose people -- and vampires -- can overeat at Christmas dinner much like they do at Thanksgiving dinner (which is what this is supposed to be)...
Lestat upgraded
Since he was last shown, Lestate has had a few minor upgrades. I repainted the eyes blue and reglossed them, and did a bit of repainting on the face. He now wears the same cravat, pants, and stockings as Lou. I repainted the Sideshow Angelus vest to have a blue background, to approximate some of Lestat's vests from the film. I found and repainted a couple of appropriately shaped rings for his hands. And he now has a real bow for his hair (not shown, as I'm waiting on better materials to make a better one). And he now has his own personal goblin assistant (who seems to hang out with Louis), more on whom later on.
The Snacks
Apart from Bella, already familiar from Chez Louis, I added a custom Angel/Angelus. Since I was already using the Sideshow set for some of Lestat's clothing, I ended up getting more and customizing the figure. It kept all of its clothes, but transferred to an M33 body. I modified the head (de-necking, drilling, fixing the damage from a Dremel accident, etc) and repainted it to match the body and to look a little bit more realistic (removing the dreaded doll dots, etc). I think it worked out decently enough.
